Bill Cosby to educate young people on how to avoid sex assault allegations

Bill Cosby plans to talk to young people about how to avoid sexual assault accusations, after a mistrial was declared in a case brought against him.

A US judge declared the mistrial earlier this month with the jury deadlocked on whether the disgraced star drugged and molested Andrea Constand at his Philadelphia home 13 years ago.

Around 60 women have publicly accused the entertainer of being a sexual predator, alleging that he drugged and assaulted them over a span of 40 years across the United States, however most of the alleged abuse happened too long ago to prosecute.

"They need to know what they're facing when they’re hanging out and partying, when they're doing certain things that they shouldn't be doing, and it also affects, you know, married men."

When asked by the interviewer, "Is this sort of a 'Do as I say, not as I do' sort of thing?", Mr Wyatt laughed, saying "right, right".

Ms Benson then interjected explaining the statutes of limitations for sexual assault were being "extended", adding, "this is why people need to be educated on, you know, a brush against a shoulder, anything at this point can be considered sexual assault, and it's a good thing to be educated about the laws".

The pair were not specific about what the town halls would cover, but made no mention of issues such as determining consent, or the involvement of drugs and alcohol.

Prosecutors have vowed to seek a retrial in the Constand case raising the prospect that the now frail and isolated comedian, once adored by millions as "America's Dad" but his career now in tatters, may be forced to return to court in a matter of months.

The trial has irrevocably damaged the legacy of Cosby, once a towering figure in US popular culture best known for his seminal role as a lovable father and obstetrician on hit 1984-92 TV series The Cosby Show.

Ms Constand's case was initially settled by a civil suit but re-opened in 2015, when Pennsylvania prosecutors claimed that new evidence had come to light.

"We're going to retry the case," Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said.

"There was no pause or hesitation about that, and we're moving forward."

Mr Steele admitted he was "disappointed" but said his team would review their case and make tweaks. He pledged the three counts of aggravated indecent assault would stand and praised Ms Constand's "courage."

Ms Constand said the trial had "given a voice to the many victims who felt powerless and silenced."

"We commend those prosecutors who raised awareness that one of the hallmarks of drug-related sexual assaults is the effect the drug has on the victim's memory and ability to recall and were nonetheless willing to present this evidence to the jury," she said in a statement that her attorneys released to US media.

The sequestered seven-man, five-woman panel spent 52 hours deliberating, working late into the night and on Saturday, longer than the six business days devoted to testimony and legal arguments.

They first informed Judge Steven O'Neill on Thursday that they were deadlocked, but were instructed to keep trying.

Less than 48 hours later, the panel informed the judge that they were still deadlocked on all three counts.

Cosby maintained in a 2005 deposition that he gave Ms Constand the antihistamine Benadryl to relieve stress and had consensual relations. But he admitted obtaining sedatives with a view to having sex.
